    Request: Dinner ideas for use with salsa?

    edited November 2024 in Recipes
    I have a lot of salsa left over from the taco salad I made the other night. Does anybody have any good fit dinner recipes in the 350 to 550 calorie range? I'm drawing a blank today.

      Hungry Girl has a Sassy Salsa Pumpkin Soup that is great! Taste more like enchilada soup then pumpkin. Here is a link to the recipe:

      Throw a bunch of chicken breasts in a slow cooker and cover it with the salsa. Let it cook until the breasts just fall apart. Voila, shredded chicken for tacos. Use some greek yogurt instead of sour cream and some lettuce. High protein, low fat.

      You can poach an egg or two in salsa and eat it with corn or flour tortilla. Top with lettuce, onion, tomato, black olive...

      in a pouch of silver foil (aluminum foil) put a white fish (eg cod) with the salsa on top.
      wrap it up so that nothing leaks and put it in the oven for long enough to cook the fish.

      I add salsa to steamed brown rice for an easy mexican rice side dish.

      what kind of salsa? Salsa Fresca or cooked?

      I'm from NM so we pretty much put either salsa or chiles on everything...there's pretty much not anything that can't be made better with salsa or chiles...but it depends on the salsa as to what I would serve it with.

      How much salsa do you have left over? Marinate pork chops in the salsa in a shallow baking pan. Cook in oven at 325 for about 30 - 45 minutes depending on thickness of pork chops. I like to serve on bed of yellow rice, spooning the salsa "drippings" over top.

      Chilaquiles. cook some corn tortillas in the salsa and scramble some eggs into it.

      I like to do a stuffed pepper mix with ground meat, quinoa, salsa, veggies all mixed together and stuffed into a pepper. Top with some cheese and you're good to go!
